Genomic prediction and genome-wide association study for dagginess and host internal parasite resistance in New Zealand sheep

BACKGROUND: Dagginess (faecal soiling of the perineum region) and host nematode parasite resistance are important animal welfare traits in New Zealand sheep. Genomic prediction (GP) estimates the genetic merit, as a molecular breeding value (mBV), for each trait based on many SNPs. The additional in...
